LED lighting, along with its numerous benefits, met their desired goals.
“Since opening, our utility bills have continued to increase every month. Now with the new LED lamps, I am amazed to see that my bill actually went down for the very first time.” - Mark Silverman, Owner
Mark felt that it was time to look at a lighting alternative from the traditional lighting that was being used. He was tired of needing to replace failing bulbs and rising energy costs. Mark was also concerned with the constant heat from being under direct light e v e r y d ay. Th i s p r o d u c e d a n uncomfortable environment for both his staff and clients. Mark had spent the last 8 months researching LED lighting as a possible solution. When the team from LED Source® presented the new Toshiba E-Core LED PAR30 800 Series and MR16 300 Series lamps in action, he knew that LED lighting was the clear choice for his business.
“The LEDs do make our jewelry pop! I would have never believed it, but we are actually selling more because of the new LED lights. I couldn’t be happier. Thanks for all the help and guidance.” Mark Silverman, Owner
The Challenge Matthew’s Jewelers operates their lighting an average of 8 hours per day, 6 days per week, 313 days per year. The challenge was to reduce utility costs and the need to replace failing bulbs. It was equally important to properly light the various jewelry display cases and showroom.
